“Hugely impressed by Joanne Major’s drive, vision, and meticulous attention to detail”

I’ve always been hugely impressed by Joanne Major’s drive, vision, and meticulous attention to detail. I’m not surprised, therefore, that Joanne and her dedicated team of lawyers and support staff have rapidly gained recognition as one of the most forward-looking, innovative, client-focussed family practices in the country.

“A wealth of collaborative experience”

Jonathan Dunkley is a credit to Major Family Law and his Profession. In a world very alien to my own, his expertise, professionalism and clarity during the entire difficult process made me feel confident and reassured my case was in his capable hands. His support, confidence, and knowledge of his subject area were second to none. Jonathan achieved exactly the outcome that I had hoped for. A huge weight has now been lifted from my shoulders as my case has been successfully concluded. I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough.
